We were taught to say "...on behalf of a grateful nation..." with no mention of the President.

Do not know if it is about to burst or not. Have often thought if there is a .22 ammunition "dump" on the market, what is to keep those who do not have any or very little from buying it all in hopes of living through the next powder-primer-ammunition shortage or run on components??.... I ...

I'd approach it this way. 10-22 most reliable with the high speed stuff, best HS stuff is CCI Mini-mag or Winchester PP. Mini-mags solid and HP. Availability is the only problem.

The Winchester 64 gr. PP was issued by the California CHP and is well known as an effective load. Sounds to me as though they had a problem with neck tension in that lot of brass.

I have 2 101s and both are "skeet" guns. I don't know of anything to avoid aside from the usual with any used gun.

Yep, a bit smaller than a Bearcat, about the same accuracy...

I think you're doing the right thing.

We are all losing too many of our friends to such things, or so it seems to me.

I used as more of a .41 Special, i.e. the old LE load and save the barn burners for the carbine.

Exactly, they talk the talk and then vote for the worst of the devils never understanding that ALL the issues are interconnected and that liberty can never be compromised.

Nice touch with the chew toy sheath, it really sets it off. Years ago when I first got a computer and bandwidth was at a premium there weren't many forums like we have today. There were however "mail lists" that served the same purpose. I got on a mail list sponsored by the Univ of Quebec...

If Tubby the Tuba was a fish would he be a bass?

That Yance seems like a number 1 enabler. Very nice rifle!

Congratulations!

Gun Vault You might could find it cheaper. Bolt it down to the floor under her bed.

Love your stuff!

They DO have a problem. The stocks on these old T-Bolts (I have one - left-hand plain gun with the box, papers, single-shot adapter - that I bought for one of my boys back in '74) were made from blanks that some nameless Browning engineer thought could be quickly dried using a salt treatment. Guess...

At that price I'd have bought them both. To my mind those are the two best lengths with the 5-1/2" being neither nor. The 7-1/2" actually feels lighter in the hand due to the way the longer barrel balances the gun.

I watch Longmire for the same reason I watched the Lone Ranger and the Cisco Kid, it is fun fiction. The women aren't hard to look at either (nor is the other scenery).

Ok. Neat gun. You can use standard .25-35 ammo in the gun which will fire form it. You'll then have cases from which you can have dies made unless you find a set on one of the boards or auction houses. CH Tool ought to the be the least expensive but some people have a brand preference so that's up t...

Thank you!

I'd call that a feature. Once you do that, it will go away.

Notice how the Marlin action fails? Looks the same in every photo I've seen. I've HEARD of the locking surfaces peening to the point of failure but never seen a photo and I've looked and asked, even begged for one. This is a very interesting subject that seems to come up about every 8 months or so.

I went from here to Nashville, to Memphis, to Houston, to Pensacola and back and I see no real sign of easing. Manufacturers are producing and dealers are periodically getting something, sometimes several somethings at one time. However, it all goes right back out the door even when rationed. Nobody...

I've seen this in the major magazines like American Rifleman. Looking at 6-9 months to return to semi-normal IF buying frenzy levels off. Gracias Blaine, but i've got me issue tin-foil chappeau.

There IS factory ammo for the .222 but like all ammo at this time it might be difficult to find.

Winchester

A rat? If you can't get something because there ain't enough of it that's a shortage. Why don't count a'tall. Its gonna last a bit too.

How might one define obsolete? Many cartridges have been resurrected and firearms for them have recently been produced.

Photobucket is ok but this forum seems to allow attachment of photos directly from your computer. Pretty neat!
